Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-31 00:00:00 Brent Stevanus Nominated for the Canadian Scotiabank Giller Prize and Governor-General's award in 1995, the late author Richard B. Wright's, The Age of Longing is a sweet little gem of a novel set in small town northern Ontario. The narrator, Howard Wheeler, has returned to his hometown to bury his mother and settle her affairs. He starts digging up bones and reminisces about his mother and father, how very different from each other they were. His father, a young reckless hockey player struggling to make the big league 1937 Montreal Maroons, and his mother, a no-nonsense, matter of fact school teacher who thinks she can make something of him. It was a marriage that never made sense and much of the short novel is the narrators examination of their failed early marriage. It's purely a character driven work, a snapshot of time and place, short on plot, highly poignant. 3.75 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-11 00:00:00 Carmon Thompson A wonderful, comfy, easy read,..perfect for curling up in a garden chair on a warm, sunny day, and we've had so many of these lately way up here in northwestern Ontario. But I digress... When Howard's mother dies, he returns to the town of his birth to clear up her estate and sell the family home, and reminisces about the lives of his parents as young people...meeting, falling in love, getting married, and then the eventual disintegration of their marriage... Poignant, touching, memorable. This is the only second Richard Wright I've read, but I already know that I love Richard Wright stories. :-) QUOTE: “No one has touched her since she was ten years old and a boy named Elliot Summers kissed her on the cheek at a birthday party for a neighbour’s child. But happiness for Grace Stewart does not arrive without the presence of its evil stepsisters, uncertainty and doubt. They stand by the doorway to cast their shadows over any notion that happiness in this life is unconditional and gratis. You have to pay for everything. This she knows in her heart’s blood.” [p. 50-51]
